Finalist - Maine Literary Awards 2025
Maine's North Woods span 3.5 million acres-larger than Yellowstone and the Grand Canyon combined. North Woods at Night: Literary Reflections on Maine's Largest Forest sends 38 writers into those woods after dark, returning with poems, stories, and essays that capture what the wilderness does to the human imagination when the lights go out.
Campfires and loons. A moose appearing at the edge of headlights. The particular silence of a frozen lake at midnight. The fear that turns, unexpectedly, into wonder. These writers don't romanticize the dark-they inhabit it, each piece adding to a portrait of a landscape that is ancient, vast, and indifferent to human schedules.
With an introduction by Ret Talbot, National Geographic contributor and award-winning science writer.
